Albertans' Perceptions of Family Violence and Bullying Survey
In January 2010, 977 telephone questionnaires were completed with Albertans, 16 years and older, regarding their perceptions of family violence and bullying. The purpose of the questionnaires was to examine issues related to public understanding and awareness of bullying and family violence issues, measure exposure to these issues in the media, and to inform future directions for the public awareness and education campaigns.
Previous results of Albertans' Perceptions of Family Violence and Bullying Survey:

The Family Violence Info Line 310-1818 helps Albertans reach out to individuals and families affected by family violence. Help is available anytime, toll-free provincewide, in more than 170 languages.
